I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

I'll ammend my response, it's grown over the years but most of the time it's just Finn and Jake on an adventure.

It's definitely different than it was but i'd say season 4's I Remember You is when Adventure Time is crystallizing into what you see in Stakes. Although it varies still since episodes are never tonally consistent between them even now, although this season the show is definitely more serialized than its ever been.

it seems the only time that ever happens is in a D&D themed episode.

the wise gem bowed her head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad quartzes. you imbecile. you fucking moron"

It's generally less frenetic and more lowkey weird and has become sort of an anthology show about Ooo that's only sometimes about Finn and Jake. I still goddamn love it.

The plot-related episodes are usually decent and they still do plenty of episodes that are just Finn and Jake loving around and going on adventures, and those are always good. Granted, I haven't watched every episode of every season.

Since Stakes, Finn and Jake have been around a lot more, even when they aren't the focus of the episode.

Sword Finn is briefly shown enjoying the music when Finn is singing with the Music Hole at the end of the episode.

AVClub discontinued its coverage of Adventure Time which is annoying because that's primarily how I found out I missed a new episode. This episode wasn't even announced last I checked like 2 weeks ago, the next episode was supposed to be the card wars one. It was good though

This song is catchy af, I've had it in my head since the episode and have listened to it multiple times now that you've linked it!

Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
I was jarred by the unannounced use of Mitski but it makes a lot of sense in terms of "'catchy short family-friendly bass-centric female punk song". Is this the first non-lake song the show has licensed?

There's was also the Cheers theme and Mama Said.

And a Shel Silverstein song (a Boy Named Sue) was originally gonna be used in Dad's Dungeon.

Also the use of a Mitski song was mentioned in one of the crew promo posters.

Thank you! gently caress, that was driving me crazy.

I could have used a little less artsy and a little more fartsy, I love the aesthetics of card wars. Still a good episode and a good message.
